In preparation for concurrent execution, introduce a
`get_performer_for_builtin` function. This function itself returns a
function, which when called will run the builtin. The idea is that the
function may be called on a background thread (but not in this commit).
Several functions including wgetopt and execve operate on null-terminated
arrays of nul-terminated pointers: a list of pointers to C strings where
the last pointer is null. Prior to this change, each process_t stored its
argv in such an array. This had two problems:
1. It was awkward to work with this type, instead of using std::vector,
etc.
2. The process's arguments would be rearranged by builtins which is
surprising
Our null terminated arrays were built around a fancy type that would copy
input strings and also generate an array of pointers to them, in one big
allocation.
Switch to a new model where we construct an array of pointers over
existing strings. So you can supply a `vector<string>` and now
`null_terminated_array_t` will just make a list of pointers to them. Now
processes can just store their argv in a familiar wcstring_list_t.
Similar to what fish_indent does. After typing "echo \" and hitting return,
the cursor will be indented.
A possible annoyance is that when you have multiple indented lines
echo 1 \
2 \
3 \
4 \
If you remove lines in the middle with Control-k, the lines below
the deleted one will start jumping around, as they are disconnected
from and reconnected to "echo".
This needs to be rewritten, I'm pretty sure we have like 6 of these
kinds of ad-hoc "is this quoted" things lying around.
But for now, at least don't just check if the *previous* character was
a backslash.
Fixes#7685.
Before running a command, or before importing a command from bash history,
we perform error checking. As part of error checking we expand commands
including variables and globs. If the glob is very large, like `/**`, then
we could hang expanding it.
One fix would be to limit the amount of expansion from the glob, but
instead let's just not expand command globs when performing error checking.
Fixes#7407
Found with gcc's -Wmissing-declarations which gives warnings like
../src/tinyexpr.cpp:61:5: warning: no previous declaration for ‘int get_arity(int)’ [-Wmissing-declarations]
61 | int get_arity(const int type) {
The same warnings show up for builtin functions like builtin_bg because they
currently don't include their own headers. I left that.
Also reformat the touched files.
The line offset of a trailing newline on the commandline was computed incorrectly.
As a result, up-arrow did not work for a commandline like the one inserted by:
commandline -i echo '' ''
Note this and the previous commit in the changelog.
This indents continuations after pipes and conjunctions if they contain
a newline.
Example:
cmd1 &&
cmd2
But it avoids the "double indent" if it indented unconditionally:
cmd1 | begin
cmd2
end
More work towards improving #7252
This switches parse_util_compute_indents from parsing with parse_tree to
the new ast.
It also reworks the parse_util_compute_indents tests, because
parse_util_compute_indents will be the backing for fish_indent.
This commit recognizes an existing pattern: many operations need some
combination of a set of variables, a way to detect cancellation, and
sometimes a parser. For example, tab completion needs a parser to execute
custom completions, the variable set, should cancel on SIGINT. Background
autosuggestions don't need a parser, but they do need the variables and
should cancel if the user types something new. Etc.
This introduces a new triple operation_context_t that wraps these concepts
up. This simplifies many method signatures and argument passing.
Presently the completion engine ignores builtins that are part of the
fish syntax. This can be a problem when completing a string that was
based on the output of `commandline -p`. This changes completions to
treat these builtins like any other command.
This also disables generic (filename) completion inside comments and
after strings that do not tokenize.
Additionally, comments are stripped off the output of `commandline -p`.
Fixes#5415Fixes#2705
Fish completes parts of words split by the separators, so things like
`dd if=/dev/sd<TAB>` work.
This commit improves interactive completion if completion strings legitimately
contain '=' or ':'. Consider this example where completion will suggest
a🅰️1 and other files in the cwd in addition to a:1
touch a:1; complete -C'ls a:'
This behavior remains unchanged, but this commit allows to quote or escape
separators, so that e.g. `ls "a:<TAB>` and `ls a\:<TAB>` successfully complete
the filename.
This also makes the completion insert those escapes automatically unless
already quoted.
So `ls a<TAB>` will give `ls a\:1`.
Both changes match bash's behavior.
